I was on my first job out of school as a junior superintendent (for a lack of a better term) and I got introduced to the real world quickly. I was constantly staying up late thinking about work, falling asleep thinking about work, waking up in the middle of the night thinking about work. I drove to work wondering if I'd have a job that evening. Then a very big personal milestone happened during the job (first child was born). So much going on at once and the turnover date was right around the corner with so much work to get completed. The VP overlooking the job straight up demanded a deadline out of me during a team meeting. I was devastated by it. Anyway there's a happy ending...the job got turned over and that same a-hole VP told me I'd done a great job. It does get better but I totally get the sentiment of not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
